Nakamura Kichiemon II (二代目 中村 吉右衛門, Nidaime Nakamura Kichiemon, born May 22, 1944), born Namino Tatsujirō, is a Japanese actor, kabuki performer and costume designer. He is a so-called Living National Treasure.

Nakamura Kichiemon is a formal kabuki stage name. The actor's grandfather first appeared using the name in 1897; and Nakamura Kichiemon I continued to use this name until his death. Kichiemon I was the maternal grandfather of Kichiemon II.

In the conservative Kabuki world, stage names are passed from father to son in formal system which converts the kabuki stage name into a mark of accomplishment. In choosing to be known by the same stage name as his grandfather, the living kabuki performer honors his family relationships and tradition.

Le film raconte les dernières étapes de la vie de Rikyū, pendant la période Sengoku du Japon féodal. Il commence à la fin du règne d'Oda Nobunaga et continue dans l'ère Momoyama. Rikyū est montré comme un homme profondément passionné par l'esthétique et la perfection dans l'art du thé. Maître de thé d'Oda Nobunaga puis de Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Rikyū, de par sa position privilégiée, est constamment en lien avec les puissants seigneurs et a la possibilité d'influencer leur politique, même s'il évite soigneusement d'y être trop mêlé. Il consacre son énergie à étudier et enseigner la voie du thé. Les tumultes de l'histoire viendront cependant rompre cet équilibre, et ses rapports avec Hideyoshi iront en se dégradant.
